  2. Composites: What and Why A composite dataset is a collection (over some time period and region) of similar data (e.g. surface met) from a variety of sources, put into a common format, and passed through a uniform quality control. Why does UCAR/JOSS develop composites? - Provides data in a uniform format with QC. - Allows determination of network/site problems. - Useful for model applications. - Prevents duplication of effort.

  3. Incomplete? Incomplete? Incomplete? Time ACTION GENERAL DATASET PROCESSING LIFE CYCLE • Phone, email, paperwork, $, meetings, • procurement arrangements. • (Days to months) • (Minutes to months) • Auto retrieval, FTP, online requests, • etc. (minutes to days) • Verify AOI, TOI, Format; spot check • values, visual inspection or limited • processing (Minutes to days) • Format change, new parameters • manual “cleanup”, etc. • (Days to months) • Purchase hardware, configuration • management, etc. • (Minutes to days) • Put into common format, run data checkers • “check gross limits” (Days to months) • HQC for SFC, Gross limits for precip, • Composite level and value checkers, limited • statistics (% G, B, D by network, stn, • parameter for SFC). (days to months) 1 Contact SRC Agency to Acquire Data and Metadata 2 Wait for SRC Agency Data/Metadata Preparation days/months 3 Acquire Data and Metadata OR Create “Best” Metadata 4 Examine Data & Metadata for Consistency and Completeness 5 Develop New Software or Modify Existing Software 6 Acquire Computer System Space and Time weeks/months 7 Process Data and Metadata then Check 8 Form Composite with Like Datasets Add stn info to final list 9 Perform QC and Final Data Checks. Generate Statistics Processing Problems? months/year Prepare ASCii format data & docs for CD-Roms Create EBUFR format data & DOCS for CODIAC Prepare, manufacture, & distribute CD-Roms Load Data and Metadata onto CODIAC z:\cully\Esop96\esop3.ppt
